Abstract:
Seasonal and circadian rhythms of neuronal and organism resistance to convulsive effect of strychnine and penicillin were studied in vivo on mice and rats and in vitro on cultured mouse cerebellar sections. Resistance was assessed by the latency of seizures in mice and neuronal response to convulsants in sections. In the night and morning time (0:00-9:00) seizure resistance in mice increased: it manifested in longer latency and lower mortality compared to those in the day and evening time (12:00-21:00). Seizure resistance was minimum in autumn and maximum in winter. Neurons in cerebellar section were most resistant to the convulsive effect of penicillin in autumn and winter and least resistant in spring and summer. Circadian rhythms of cerebellar neuron resistance to convulsants were opposite, which attests to reciprocal relations between epileptogenic and antiepileptic (cerebellar) cerebral structures.

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...
Seizures: Classification
Seizures are typically classified into two main categories: focal and generalized seizures.
Focal Seizures
Focal seizures originate from specific regions of the brain. These seizures are further sub-classified into two types:
